Hmm. I wouldn't want Ganondorf to be an anti-hero. Not every villain needs to have redeeming qualities or a rare soft side. Ganondorf to me is a straight up badguy, Satan incarnate for Hyrule. To make him somewhat relatable just to justify playing as him? I rather play as him and see him at his most deplorable.

Well, I'd say they made him relatable in Wind Waker. In Ocarina of Time he was just the king of evil. And really, while menacing, there wasn't much else to him. In Wind Waker they made it clear that he hates Hyrule and its people because of the lot of his own people. ...then in Twilight Princess he went straight back to being a simple evil overlord (though that makes sense if you know the timeline).

We really don't know much about Ganondorf. He's rarely on screen if you think about it.

Kill Screen Daily points out some inspiring news for gamers in general and for Legend of Zelda fans in particular: Dark Horse Comics and Nintendo's collaborative hardcover book on the history of Hyrule, "The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia," is the top selling book on Amazon and has managed to top the New York Times Best Seller list!

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia was originally released in 2010 as a Japanese-only release - much to the chagrin of Zelda fans in Europe, North America, and other regions. That release was a collaborative effort between Nintendo and Japanese book publisher Shogakukan offering an inside look at never-before-seen concept art, design plans, storyboards and an official timeline of the Zelda series in the twenty-five years since it was first introduced on the Famicom.

I bought A Link to the Past on the VC to revisit it in anticipation of the new 3DS game and I gotta say, it's way better than I remember. I think as a kid I was easily frustrated by it, but now that I have my adult patience to apply to the game, it's been a whole lot of fun. I've been exploring the game for the last few hours and I'm having a blast.

I'm not saying this won't be a good game, just that I'd take something in the style of Ocarina of Time over something in the style of A Link to the Past in a heartbeat.

See I'm just the opposite. I'd rather have a Link to the Past style game for a handheld over a larger Ocarina sized game. A game like Ocarina or Majora's mask I'd rather play on a big TV on a console. I think that this new Zelda for the 3DS is going to be perfect for the way I do my handhelds.
